As the South Florida skyline continually adds high-rise developments, the new residential buildings take advantage of the bird’s-eye viewing with a luxurious perk — coveted rooftop pools with cafes, juice bars and observation decks.
The latest crop of residential rooftop pools in Miami include:

The Standard Residences hired Arquitectonica and Urban Robot to create a distinctively designed lifestyle building with curated amenities, including a state-of-the-art sweat room and fitness center, an infrared sauna, an indoor pickleball court that doubles as a party room pet spa, and yoga and stretch studios. A social floor features a karaoke bar and screening room, while co-working spaces come with a private boardroom and Zoom rooms.
